Compiling el files in a clean environment
Node.js runtime can be wrapped into executable, hence you don't need to install node.js. If you check the release page https://github.com/emacs-eask/eask/releases, there are pre-built binaries (executables) under the "Assets" section.

Package contribution workflow
Well, for one thing, restarting Emacs to reload libraries gets old. This command helps. Also, this script eases testing in clean Emacs configs outside of one's main editor. Then, of course, tools like Elpaca seem to be the next generation...

How do get emacs to stop warning about packages I use?
Anyway, as Nic said, any package maintainer who cares will want to fix those warnings. I use my own makem.sh tool to lint compilation warnings before publishing.

Compiling el files in a clean environment
This is one of the reasons I wrote makem.sh. I recently added makem.el to the repo, which is an Elisp library that provides a Transient menu to make using it very easy (you don't have to use M-x compile or a shell).

How do you manage several similar emacs configs?
See also https://github.com/alphapapa/makem.sh, which is much simpler to use.

Emacs finally got a command line switch to set user-emacs-directory
Wow, finally! And just when I've gotten the bugs ironed out of with-emacs.sh and makem.sh related to Emacs 28's changes. Well, pre-29 versions will still be around for a long time, so with-emacs.sh will remain useful, but it will be nice to have support for this integrated into Emacs.

Running elisp linters / checkers from the command line?
Reported one: https://github.com/alphapapa/makem.sh/issues/35
-
New package: define-repeat-map -- easily define repeat-maps for Emacs
FYI, see also evenp. :) Also, this may help you lint and test your packages: https://github.com/alphapapa/makem.sh

Inspector for Emacs Lisp (WIP)
I generally recommend using makem.sh to lint, because it can test in a clean Emacs configuration using a variety of tools, and it works with compile, so you can just press g to rerun it. It will warn you about things like un-prefixed cl functions.
-
How to think about version bounds for packages that you created or maintain?
For general packaging, package-lint will catch many dependency issues. I run it with https://github.com/alphapapa/makem.sh
What are some alternatives?
When comparing eask and makem.sh you can also consider the following projects:
cask - Project management tool for Emacs
with-emacs.sh - Script to easily run Emacs with specified configurations
mu-wizard - mu4e configuration wizard
emacs-anywhere - Configurable automation + hooks called with application information
melpazoid - A bundle of CI scripts for testing Emacs packages, primarily submissions to MELPA.
nixpkgs - Nix Packages collection & NixOS
emacs-inspector - Inspection tool for Emacs Lisp objects.
chemacs2 - Emacs version switcher, improved
straight.el - 🍀 Next-generation, purely functional package manager for the Emacs hacker.
